BIO
As an Artist, Ecologist and Healer, I draw upon growing up a working-class hippie, re-situating photography, writing and filmmaking into somatic, eco-feminist practices to contribute to wider ecologies of care. As an MFA graduate from Slade School of Fine Art, with a Bachelors in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Photography, I frequently speak, teach and co-curate on the connective tissue between Art-Ecology-Psychology. Blending autobiography, humour, fiction, materiality and trauma theory, I have exhibited extensively and performed for Black Mountain College Museum and Creative Time, USA. Collaboration is increasingly vital and I'm a lively member of three art collectives and a co-founder of The More-Than-Human Book club at Barbican library. My healing career (20+ years) unconventionally spans my hippie beginnings, working as a Mental Health Care worker, Psychologist, then Psychic, now Healer, integrating Taoist, Addiction training. I am currently studying a Diploma in Environmental Humanities part-time at The New School of The Anthropocene.
I have co-curated exhibitions including ‘Women in Photography’ (2019) and ‘you’re mulchy green, you’re verdant matter’ (2019). The latter was a popular exhibition with an accompanying ten-day series of public-facing events organised by Lea Collet and myself, presenting feminist bodily, botanical and ecological subjectivities at Slade School of Fine Art.
I have also lived and worked internationally, creatively and therapeutically amongst international, marginalised populations and unconventional paradigms, consistently seeking a breadth of care, understanding, empathy and inclusivity which underpins my work.
